The Littleton police officer accused of buying Ecstasy made a brief court appearance in federal court Friday in Denver.

Jeffrey Johnston, 46, was delayed getting into the courtroom after he forgot his identification, but made it inside before the 10 a.m. hearing with the help of his lawyer, Pam Mackey and court staff.

Guy Till, assistant U.S. Attorney, asked for and received a delay on when an indictment can be issued. The date for the grand jury to convene is now set for Aug. 19.

Till asked for the delay because investigators are still trying to trace the nine firearms found in Johnston's Parker home and the "numerous" controlled substances also found there, according to documents.

A status hearing is scheduled for Aug. 26 at 2 p.m.

Johnston is accused of buying $1,300 worth of Ecstasy. He has been charged with a string of offenses, including drug possession with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. That happened after he purchased 10 grams of the party drug from a dealer who was also a confidential informant, documents say.
